Coach Brian Johnson is more than a coach. He has an indescribable impact on all of his students and athletes, as a role model, mentor, and friend.

In December, Brian was diagnosed with AML Leukemia, a blood cancer. He immediately began treatment, spending weeks in the hospital. He is expected to return to the hospital for further treatment, and will be out of work for some time.

While Brian and his family do have insurance, there are costs above and beyond that he is incurring as his treatment proceeds. All funds raised will go towards his medical expenses.

Racers For Pacers is dedicated to raising funds to provide running chairs for disabled individuals who cannot run on their own. We provide these individuals with the opportunity to “run” with a pacer on a regular basis at least once or twice per week and in local 5ks, 10ks or longer competitive runs throughout the Lowcountry.

As some of you know, a family of 7 arrived from the Congolese last Monday Feb 20th. The United Methodist Church in Park Circle has decided to sponsor them as well as future refugees and will be working with them to get them self sufficient. They are currently staying at a house in West Ashley until their apartment is ready. Many of you have asked if there is anything you can do for them and I was able to get a list of items they currently need.

As I mentioned it is a family of 7 - father, mother, four girls, one boy. We met the beautiful family this past Sunday at church.

Here is a list of items. If you have any of these items that you have wanted to give away, please consider them.
